STATE 0' THE POLL FOR PEEK'S, JULY 6. Nevi no loa6 Dow MS Hallett 493 COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court ot Common council was held for special purpo'yes. Aldermen Curtis and Thor!? were there. The I,OED MAYOR informed the Conr, thatlhe Addresses agreed to be present,d to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, on the Matriage of the Duke ot Cambridge, and also the compli mentsof Congratulation to the Duke amid Dochess, had been presented; and laid before the court the several. Answ e rs th ere t o , w hi c h were ordered to be entered on the Journals. ASSIZE OF BR AD, Mr. Di tot' hoped he should not be thouebt too pressing npon. a subject which interested the 'peo ple most materially, if he reluested the attention (Whig Lordship to a question which he bad some time ago put in that Court—he meant with re spect to the Assize of Bread : and he should nOw be glad to learn whether his Lordship had come to any decision, either with or without consulting his brother Alder Men, as to the benefits arising from the present,oirraugeme,nts with respect to that indispen.4ible article ? The LORD MAYOR said be had not as yet had an opporvunity Df bringing the subject before his brother Aldermen, but to-morrow, being a court Day, be should do so, and make the commu nication as quickly as possible to the Worthy Member. Mr. PEARSALL presented a Petition from George Bowser, Esq. who was elected one of the Sheriffs for the ensu i ng year, praying that he should not be subject to the usual fine for not serving, he being a Protestant Dissenter." Tice Petition was accompanied by a certificate from Dissenting Clergymen, in confirmation of this excuse. Mr. DIXON did not rise to oppose the motion, but he could not help-saying, that the Act of Common Council,.which excused Dissenters from serving, held out,a baonty to persons for depart ing from the Established Chad', and it might be observed, that the apology was always wade when no emoluments could he derived from the occupation', and withheld when any thing profit ableresented itself. - A motion for excusing Mr. Bowser was then agreed to, OFFICE OF COMMON PLEADER. A discussion aroAe upon the question, whether the office of Common Pleader, become vacant by the arty!, of IV. IV3lsoti, Esq. should be put up to public sale, according to usage, or be rendered elective. Mr. DisoN objected to the practice of putting up the piece to sale, upon the ground that all 4 )1 ... fices connected with the Administration ofJcastice should be free, and that by election a man was bound in gratitude to perform the duties required of hint. Mr. FAVE4 said, that by disposing of the office . sale Abe 0141,1 the . right elec. ! :ion, which be trusted would not be meddled with. • Alderman GOODB6IIIiRK was for making sale of the. place, but not by auction, as an objectionable person might get in by that means. The vigi lance of a win could not he so well secured as by throwina a deeper responsibility upon him than mere gratitude. Selling the place by public auction might introduce a bidder of bad charac ter, and the influence of the Court should be par-. Ocularly avoided. Mr. I)IxoN observed, that more was'to he ap prehended-from the infinence of a Committee but, hi fact, either should be guarded against. It was then carried by show of hands, that the !Ada* should be disposed of by election.

NATIONAL, MEDALS. FOR 'I'fIE SUN. • Enrroil,-,--Being a Collector of Meths, f l oc of rarity and ostentati , •n, hut as records of ilishiry and specimens Of Art, I have been much gratified with the discriminatitig !to rtee which you have frequently bestowed upon the series of Medals now engraving under the direc tion of Mr. Morna, to record the National Trimlylts by Sea and Land in the late spleinii,i and eventful War, though I suspect. that you ate little aw are of the extent of the'claims which the spirited tolividual who has undertaken the corn- Het ion, of this national record has upon the pub lic for support and encouragement; nor should myself, but from having once had to ascertain the cost of striking a Medal to the Memory of Mr. PITT ; and judging front that endertakiug„ I shied,' say that the hare expellee of engraving Dies for the se; ies would heat least five thousand pounds ; after which comes tire expense of laboar and metal in striingriteMedels—perhaps as much more; and even, this' is a trifle, compared with chit difficulties of procurifigArtists, so as to continue with the rapidity with, Which this undertaking has hitherto proceeded. In the short space of about two years, 25 different M'edals have been puidish ed, mad my Medallist infOrMs me that four or five new ones will very shortly make their appear ance —among which are those of our lannortal NELSON, and the Hero of Acre, Sir SIDNEY . SMITH. It nay 6'6 - said that these great men need no assistance from Medals, and that the memory of their actions will 'always be their splendid monuments. But this is a short-sighted specula= Iron. ,Tradition, it many events trout oblivion, but it generally 'militates and dis figures, and .not unfreqnently, though the tradi tion in irart exists, the event trout which it is derived ,becomes perfectly lust, of which I re member au instance in Ireland. Hearing a peasant say to another, " The Curse of Crom well on' you," I enquired what it . meant : he said he did not know, but it was something very dreadful. No doubt this was a proverhial expres sion arising front that Usurper's severities. 'His tory, therefore, is• indispensably necessary for the truth and accuracy of the record of events, and, tO it has been frequently proved, there can be no re cord equal in durability to Medals ; nor should it be omitted, in our view of the undertaking, to no tice the powers and qualifications which should be combined to enable act engraver of Medals to do justice to his subject. I - would refer your Readers, on this point, to the Memoir of the late Mr. WTota, of his Majesty's Mint, in the Gentle -711171.8 Magazine of February last, and here briefly remark, that the famed NAPOLEON series is ri valled by the English, for the variety and emi nence of ,the talents concentrated in it. Let us hope that, with so much merit in his undertaking, Mr. Muhta• t: ill not he disappointtal •io the pa tronage which he sulicits from the Public, who in granting it, while they indulge in an elegant gratification, will at the same time reward the bold and meritorious exertions of an individual to identify the recent actions of his Country with alt that is useful, splendid, and durable, and to make Gestus slid Aar the attending handmaids of HISTORY. R. S. *** We ere stirpriSe4l that our Correspondent has nut recommended the inlrOduction of the Im mortal PITT among this series of National Me dals, for if it had nut been for perseverance in sup port of his system, Mitt°Pe might still have groaned under Gallic Oppression.
